Optical Intercourse
Apr 02
At Pensacola Christian College, you can be expelled for having ocular intercourse, the act of gazing too long into eyes of a member of the opposite sex. This won’t surprise Daryl, but the also teach creationism in the science classes. It’s an unaccredited school, so if you get expelled in your junior year for kissing a girl, you will likely be starting over somewhere as a freshman.
Also very interesting is the connection between PCC and A Beka books. They are both owned by the same guy, PCC loses boatloads of cash every year, but makes it up in royalties supplied by book sales to Christian schools and homeschoolers.
There really is no point to the post, other than I laughed out loud at the optical intercourse thing. They seem to hide their unaccredited status from prospective students, but otherwise I think the kids going there more or less know what they are getting into.
Original article is fire walled behind the oh so reader friendly Chronicle of Higher Education Website. This appears to be complete cut and paste of the article.
I’m not surprised they are non-accredited. Families most likely send their kids there in hopes that they receive a wonderful Christian education and meet a helpmeet to be with forever and ever. To hell with the accreditation.
The urban myth at Houghton was that some guy at BJU got hauled before the authorities because, in one of their no-touch date rooms, he was undressing his date with his eyes.
He got expelled for his outburst: “Good thing I had my contacts in or else she might be pregnant.”
Why do they need a college degree anyway? All the really well paying jobs are sinful.
I once dated a girl who was a PCC student. This was during summer break. She was actually pretty hot. But I did often hear her say, “you know, I would get expelled for this if I was at school now.”
Just to assure everyone that my family has several Southeast US christian colleges in our background, I have a brother who attended and a SIL who graduated from PCC. And to round it out, a brother who attended Tennessee Temple Univ. in Chatanooga, and 3 graduates of BJU with another one having attended BJU some.
I sometimes wonder how I made it out sane.
